Xron ST
An ultra-compact, high-manoeuvrability crawler robot for inspection of complex surfaces and dense piping. Magnetic wheels and a multi-joint body let it traverse extreme curvatures in any orientation — vertical, overhead, around 8″ pipes — delivering UT, EMAT, PAUT and visual inspection where access has always been the limit.

High-Temp Surfaces
UT/EMAT sensor surface up to 100°C
170 × 360 × 150 mm
A footprint that fits where inspectors can't.
Adhere. Climb. Inspect.
Magnetic wheels deliver high-strength adhesion to ferromagnetic surfaces, enabling reliable travel on coated and high-temperature materials. Combined with a multi-joint body, Xron ST traverses extreme curvatures in any orientation — verticals, inverts, and tight bends — while maintaining stable operation.
- 120 kgf magnetic attachment force on bare wheels
- Coated-wheel option for delicate or finished surfaces
- Operates through coatings up to 2 mm
- 30° angle turning — navigates dense piping networks

See every angle. Control every detail.
Four onboard cameras stream simultaneously to the operator's remote — front stereo, a 4K full-color night-vision gimbal, probe-view, and rear navigation. 2,500-lumen adjustable lighting makes low-light environments inspectable without repositioning.
Probe, RealSense, Rear, Gimbal — 4 simultaneous HD streams.
Inspect every detail without repositioning the robot.
Instant UT readings with on-screen graph visualization.
Real-time SLAM visualization with return-to-home.
One platform. Every test you need.
Sensor packages are fully modular — UT, EMAT, DFT, and PAUT configurations all run on the same crawler platform with quick-connect couplant and transducer.
UT — Ultrasonic Testing
Untethered single-point UT with onboard couplant delivery, up to 1 mm coating.
EMAT
Electromagnetic acoustic transducer — couplant-free measurement through 2 mm coatings.
PAUT
Phased array UT — tethered to gauge, 30 m max range. Through 1 mm coatings.
DFT & Visual
Dry film thickness and high-resolution visual inspection (GVI/CVI) with stereo flaw sizing.
From inspection to final report — in one workflow.
Xron ST is supported by AveSoft, a proprietary platform for real-time robot operation, data capture, and post-inspection analysis. Designed for both field operators and inspectors, it delivers intuitive control, live visualization, and streamlined reporting.
- Smart data capture & tagging on the live 3D model
- Each capture stores 4 images, graph data, environmental info
- Post-processed flaw sizing with machine vision
- On-the-spot reports — no data transfer required
